Choi Min-hwan of F.T. Island Departs from “The Return of Superman” and Halts Media Engagements

On October 25, a report emerged indicating that Choi Min-hwan from F.T. Island had been spotted at adult entertainment establishments. Following this revelation, he made a statement regarding his immediate cessation of all media engagements, which included his participation in the show “The Return of Superman” featuring his children. His management company, FNC Entertainment, released a statement expressing, “Choi Min-hwan acknowledges his obligation to the public and viewers and has opted to halt all media appearances, including those that involve his children. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort this situation may have caused.”

Choi Min-hwan, who had divorced Yulhee merely three months before these events, had garnered empathy from fans for his efforts in raising their three children independently on the show. However, amidst the controversy surrounding his alleged visits to adult venues, he announced the end of all media appearances, including those on YouTube, signaling his withdrawal from the entertainment sector. The future of his role within F.T. Island remains unclear.

In a previous YouTube video, Yulhee recounted experiences relating to their divorce, claiming that Choi Min-hwan had engaged in inappropriate behavior in front of his family and had made suggestive gestures involving money during social gatherings.

Yulhee also mentioned that during their divorce negotiations, they had mutually decided to keep their children out of the public eye and not exploit them for financial gain. Nevertheless, just three months post-divorce, Choi Min-hwan reappeared on “The Return of Superman” with their children, violating their earlier agreement.

The production crew of “The Return of Superman” confirmed Choi Min-hwan’s decision to exit the show and noted that there is no remaining footage that hasn’t aired. Fans have expressed their discontent with the circumstances, especially given the perception that Choi Min-hwan may have used his children for monetary gain, raising concerns about their potential emotional impact.

The commitment intended for the children’s benefit has been overshadowed by Choi Min-hwan’s unfulfilled promises. By failing to adhere to these promises, he jeopardizes not just his reputation and prospects in the entertainment world but also his credibility and the welfare of his children.
